King James Version

The
Book of Isaiah

Chapter
50

Thus
saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put
away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your
iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother
put away.

Wherefore,
when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my
hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver?
behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their
fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I
should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth
morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass
yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks
that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in
sorrow.
